How does my future look?



A few of my clients, and myself included are going through some curious times, trying to evaluate the direction and plan their next steps, reacting to the current financial crisis - or maybe is it an opportunity to do something different? Or Innovative?

The Beautiful Question is here to help and today to HELP people imagine what they need to become in order for their goals to manifest. Today that means to ask questions that will help them ( and me) imagine in detail what they want to achieve. You can ask or answer theses as an individual or an organisation - just swop 'person' for 'company'.

1. What will this decision look like in 10 years?

2. For your life to be perfect, what would have to change?

3. What kind of person do you definitely NOT want to become?

4. Is this experience helping you become the best version of yourself?

5. If you pursued this dream, what would your life look like in 30 days?

6. What would REAL fulfillment look like in this area if you were truly living your life purpose?

We need to position ourselves in the future to EMPOWER people to speak from the future, then look back to identify the steps that led there.

1. How do you want the world to know you 3-5 years from now?

2. What three things can you do TODAY to increase your freedom tomorrow?

3. Look ahead six months: standing there, what decisions would you make today?

4. What three small acts you could take today to prepare for the life or work that you’d like?

5. What steps need to be taken to make you feel like you’ve achieved a Return on Investment from this new endeavor?

6. What has to happen in the next year for us to be able to look back and say, “That was best possible use of our efforts”?

Then we need to ask questions to INSPIRE people to paint a compelling, detailed picture of the desired future and make meaningful strides toward it.

1. What would your life look like right now if you were truly healthy?

2. If everyone did exactly what you said, what would the world look like?

3. What are the essential features of the world you want to live in so you can be your best?

4. When you imagine living the life you want, how do you see yourself starting your day?

5. What would REAL fulfillment look like in this area if you were truly living your life purpose?

6. What if, overnight, a miracle occurred, and you woke up tomorrow morning and the problem was solved – what would be the first thing you would notice?
